Thank you for explaining the reasons why people saw fit to exclude the
people from other working groups, although they essentially seem to be
based upon lack of knowledge of Free Software and its representatives.

Excluding a whole group of people on grounds of prejudice towards some
of its participants seems a questionable policy and not very
convincing to me.

As others have pointed out, it also seems to be outside the general
principle of professional courtesy. 

Regards,
Georg
